Education

Sunday Morning Opportunities:

Sunday School classes for ages 3 years through 6th grade meet together at 9:50 a.m. for a musical opening and prayer before going to their classrooms. Junior and Senior High have an opening time in the Youth room prior to going to their own classes.

The adult Sunday School program normally includes a Bible study course, usually on one of the Gospels.

During the summer months of July and August, there is a 'one-room schoolhouse' Sunday School for all ages to meet and learn together in the Fellowship Hall. For those adults who prefer a 'regular' class, there is a series of ministry videos and discussion topics in the third grade classroom.

Crossways! Bible Study:

A two year study of the entire Bibical narrative from Genesis to Revelation. Classes meet from 7:15-8:30 p.m. every Wednesday and Thursday morning at 10:00 a.m. (except during Lent and the summer months). For inquirers, beginners and advanced Bible Students. Pastor Banke teaches this Bible study.

Membership

Salem Lutheran accepts new members by transfer or adult instruction. There is an adult introductory course to key Biblical teachings, a summary of Lutheran doctrine (The Augsburg Confession & Luther's Small Catechism) and a welcome to the ministry of Salem Lutheran. This class is for prospective members or for those wishing to review the main teachings of the faith. There are four sessions, 1 1/2 hours each, normally held three times a year: Fall, late Winter and Spring.

Youth Ministries

'YOUTH' - people from early adolescent years through early adult years. 'YOUTH MINISTRIES' - youth working toward growth and participation in their baptismal relationship. That relationship unites them with themselves, each other and the Word through teaching, worship, community, witness and service.

During the school year, Confirmation for 7th and 8th grade classes meet Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. High School Youth meet on Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. (except during the summer months) for fun, fellowship and studies. Junior High Youth meet for game nights on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month at 6:00 p.m. (excluding summer).

During the summer months there are both Junior and Senior High activities filled with adventures designed especially with youth in mind.
